Fashion

We can say that each person has his/her own style and taste. We will scarlely find two individuals who agree on every detail of their dress. It is well-known that the character of people is reflected also by the manner of their dressing and by their overall appearance. It isn´t of course a hard-and-fast rule.
Fashion has acquired its contemporary look very slowly. Fashion has developed for century upon century, looked for and discovered new charms, invented ways of correctly using newly-discovered fabrics, colours, patterns and tailoring methods. We can actually say that tailoring a dress is something of an art. Just as a painter plays with different shades of colour in his painting, so also a tailor looks for details that would add ever more beauty, brilliance and glamour to a garment.
We go to tailor´s when we wish to have a made-to-measure garment tailored. The first question we are going to be asked is what garment we need and when it should be ready. The tailor or dressmaker shall measure our entire body, sleeves, bust and waist perimeter. After being measured, all we want to do is to choose the suitable and becoming cut, a good material and fix a date when we should come to try on the garment. Sometimes we go to tailor´s only to ask to have our dress, which has gone out of fashion, re-made. Maybe it is, because we still like the material and wish to continue wearing it.
There are many differences in dressing. The major contrast is noticeable between men and women. A woman is creature with a bit of vanity, who likes spend money in order to feel good about herself and to appeal others. One of the most important means of improving one´s looks is to dress according to the latest fashion. Garments properly chosen can stress a woman´s beatiful figure, the fine lines of her body or on the other hand can hide and disguise minor imperfections. A woman can very easily call attention to herself with her clothing. A skilful woman is also able to sew, knit and crochet a lot of nice things for herself and for her family.
When woman gets up in the morning she puts on her pyjamas or night gown, a light
slumber-robe. After breakfast the woman changes into her underwear. She puts on panties, bra or body shirt, slip and body robe. We must distinguish if we´re heading out to school, to work, to the garden, to visit friends or for en evening out. When we go to work, school or just shopping, a skirt or dress is always appropriate. The length of dress can vary from short to long reaching down to the heels. It all depends on the cut of the particular dress. Our dress can be wide, tight, with short sleeves or without sleeves, or with slits. Our dress can have different colours and patterns. We can wear a hat along with our dress. Skirt is another important piece of our wardrobe. Along with a skirt we usually wear a T-shirt or top. Nowadays young girls wear jeans dresses and skirts. These days cotton T-shirts with a hood decorated with labels, colourful patterns or printing, enjoy the greatest popularity. On top, women like wearing a jumper, a coat or a jacket. Pants and jeans aren´t just for men. Women feel very well in such clothing, too. Nowadays street style and skater fashion is very popular between young people. It wears boys and girls, too. It´s very comfortable. You feel good in it. I like this style of fashion much. In winter light garments are exchanged for something a little warmer. Light wind-cheaters and leather jackets are exchanged for fur coats or warm quilted jackets. Our garments also include a muffler, cap, headband and gloves or mittens. Winter is a time for frequent social events and balls. Fashion designers prepare fabulous collections of evening dresses. These designers show off the beauty of their models the best in the course of the dance.
For sports, we put on shorts, gym pants or Bermuda shorts, as well as the right kind of sport shoes. For swimming, as well as for sunbathing, we wear swimming costume.
It has always been claimed that the male part of population is very restricted in its choice of clothing. But that´s a mistake. Not only women but men, too, have the option of buying the kind of garments that suits their taste. It isn´t true that men are indifferent in their selection of clothes. A large proportion of men place a lot of importance in their looks and spends a lot of time choosing the clothes that are just right.
As underwear men wear briefs or boxer shorts. Most often we see men in T-shirts, long or short-sleeved shirts, in a sweater in combination with trousers or jeans. Shirt can be complemented by an elegant tie. T-shirts and shirts can be in the different colours. In the office men wear good-quality trousers with or without a belt, a jacket and sometimes a hat. Swimming trunks are another essential part of a man´s wardrobe.
The fashion often returns to the past. That is why we should never throw out our old clothes.
My favourite clothes are jeans and cotton T-shirt. It´s quite comfortable. Sometimes I wear skirt. I wear clothes which I like. I think, the fashion depends on music. Because we want to look like that girl ( Avril Lavigne ) or like those boys ( Eminem, Justin Timberlake ).
